Divide Et Impera. Really makes you think about logistics. You'll either love or hate the combat changes, though.
Radious is... not for me. Mid to late game, there's just too many armies for me to...
Thanks, FlashHeart. I figured it was the scripts, but I wanted to make sure. Unfortunately, SSD isn't in the budget atm [emoji30]. But good to know.
Have you guys noticed long load times getting back into the campaign map from battle? Mine when I use DeI is noticeably longer than when I use Sylven's STIM. I noticed the some thing on a YouTube...
Best mod I've found to remedy passive AI was Barebones Superior Campaign AI, but I don't think that it's being updated anymore. Last I saw, there was a version compatible with Patch 14, but that's...
So I've been replaying Shogun 2 Total War vanilla (since Darthmod hasn't been keeping up to date with updates) and Rome 2 Total War EE with STEM and GEM. While I've revised my opinions about both, I...
Hey Sylven. I had pretty much given up on Rome 2 TW until I saw your mod. Even with EE and subsequent patches fixing a lot of what was broken in R2TW, I still wasn't sure if I wanted to deal with...
Look, pretty much everyone is correct. Which makes me sad because I loved RTW as a kid. If you get it, just know what you're getting into.
That being said, you might have fun with it. But I...
I totally agree with you all. However, I don't think that it's because CA programmers don't value AI competency.
Unfortunately, CA devs only have a limited amount of time to devote to any one...
This might seem counterintuitive, but turn on melee mode and charge them into engaged infantry flanks. Don't click on the target unit to attack. Instead, click past the unit, essentially giving...
Your history is correct. They were defeated by Rome, then were Italian allies until the Social War. Not sure what all happened to them afterwards, though.
I haven't seen them in game, but I don't...
I've found that all those nice diplomatic things (military alliances, confederations, etc) really become available after you're a larger power. You might be able to coerce desperate powers into...
How powerful are you? In 0.75, I got Syracuse, Rhodes, and Knossos to join my Spartan, but that was after I was already a large empire in control of Greece, Italy, and part of Africa. And still,...

If you want more aggressive AI, try DeI with Barebones Superior Campaign AI. I used it while playing through DeI 0.7 and it's definitely not passive. Want to fight a super power? Try fighting against...
Man, so many of us here are defensive Hellenic players. I have to try a Suebi, Arverni, or Parthian campaign when I get my PC fixed and see if I can come up with a more aggressive style.
That...
Have you tried unsubscribing to all other Steam Workshop mods, then uninstalling the game, deleting the Rome 2 folder in your C: drive, and then reinstalling?
I've had issues getting older...

[Submod] Official No Forced March
What battle difficulty?
What difficulty? Hooray better AI!
I haven't been able to play 0.8 yet because of PC issues. Can't wait to finally try it! I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys for now.
First off, I was offering an alternative mod that might be compatible with 0.8 if the OP wanted to try another diplomacy mod. I happen to be a huge fan of Barebones Superior Campaign AI (which is NOT...
Agreed. I make due, but I've ordered the wrong units built before because of similar unit cards. It's not a huge thing, but would be nice.
I believe that Barebones Superior Campaign AI is supposed to be compatible with 0.8

Dude, really?! How is this even...
I usually go either Normal or Hard, depending on the faction or TW game. For whatever reason, I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new management setup, so I'm sticking to Normal for everyone but...
Thank you, guys, for trying so hard to get this to work properly for us! Can't wait to jump into a Rome campaign once the bugs are all worked out.
For those of you switching from the Steam version to the Mediafire version, have you tried verifying local files and/or completely uninstalling (manually deleting leftover folders) and reinstalling...
I think they meant the intro speech from vanilla. You know, "You like these guys, these other guys are a-holes, beware the ides of March..."
I saw a few users complaining that the Steam version has some texture/graphical issues. Are you using the Workshop version or TWC/Mediafire version?
Ahaha. Any chance we could get hilarious screenshots?
Agreed. In the meantime, Honga created a database for all the new DeI units (might still need an update for 0.8 ).

Can't wait to play this! Thanks, guys!
Huh. Maybe I'm wrong about the release date, then? I thought that it was going to be this Thursday for whatever reason.
Regardless, it's good to know that we'll probably need a compatibility...
Damn it, I'm gonna need more than a family pack. *runs to Costco*
Selea and Dresden, on a more serious note, do you guys anticipate any issues with the upcoming patch to be released Thursday?
I damn near pissed myself when I read that. :D
Honestly, the best answer I can give you is "as many as you need and can afford."
It will really all depend on your circumstances. I don't think there's a good universal rule of thumb. It depends...
Me, too. It makes cultural differences and disruptive behavior like raiding and sacking have more impact.
It also makes management easier since I only have to click through 10-20 provinces...
Personally, that's a perk for me. I like the idea of replacing some of my battered units with local levies and mercenaries. Not only is it historically accurate, but it adds flavor to your armies...
This.
I think that each TW game has a sweet spot for unit size, and it's not always ultra or higher. In Rome 1, I preferred large because cavalry got unwieldy on Ultra (couldn't maneuver them...
By "expand," do you mean "enable reforms"? It was my assumption that all factions would get reforms. Rome is definitely getting it, and I believe that Athens, Sparta, Carthage, and all the factions...
I'm in the same boat. I'll usually pay for a few dozen more turns after I hit that "snowball" point and then restart. So I'd say around 150 turns is average for me since, at that point, I'm hitting...
